Re: BoLS Polls: Doom of Malan'Tai Conundrum

I have to disagree, despite a well-argued case by Mortifs. The rule under the DOM entry explicitly states, "non-vehicle units". Until the models disembark, what is on the table? That's right...a vehicle. While it makes logical sense for the DOM to be able to get the guys inside according to the fluff, the rules seem to cover the situation and indicate the contrary. Why put the bit about "non-vehicle enemy units" in there at all, otherwise? Do vehicles have wounds? Nope, so the intent of the rule is clear. The thing is going too fast, or there's too much metal around the passengers, or whatever you need to tell yourself fluff-wise - but Spirit Leach CAN'T hurt embarked models. They're a vehicle until they pile out. Don't try to make an already under-priced and over-awesome unit absolutely ridiculous.

Having a bit of trouble with the word "all", are you?

Nigh-useless stormbolters?!? What are you shooting with them, Landraiders? 24" STR 4 Assault 2 FTW....

Sorry, you are getting hung up on the fact that they happened to use a pretty rectangular model in the picture. The X goes through the middle and that defines the arcs. In the case of a raider, for instance, the X would be centered over the flying base post. You draw your arcs from there. Sorry, no free 3+ perma-save. If that was the case, people would be putting triangular dozer blades on their Lemane Russ tanks and claiming they had no front arc....

I beleive it is very simple: draw an 'X' so that the line intersect at the exact center of the model. This gives you your arcs. The shape of the model is immaterial; the front, sides, and back are determined by the areas (arcs) defined by the 'X'.

please use the correct abbreviations/slang. He's a Biker MoFo, not a MotFoB. :-D

Many people seem to think that THEY get to choose which weapon is destroyed. Unfortunately, your opponent picks which weapon to blow off on a destroyed result.

Interesting stuff. I actually haven't decided what characters to include in my army yet as 'staples'. I do know that my army will include a MoFo on a bike. A railgun that can move 12" a turn? That's one badass MoFo.

Anything that make Sisters more dangerous is bad! BAD! I can't wait for them to be beaten to death with the nerfhammer. They desperately need it.

As for tournaments...they've darn near ruined the game. I am personally SO GLAD that GW is finally paying them less attention. Games are about fun, tournaments are about winning. The two are antagonistic in my opinion, and that conflict has harmed the hobby overall. The rules can and SHOULD be written with what is fair and what is fun in mind - NOT what it will do to tournament play. That is the LAST thing anyone should consider in writing game materials. Just my opinion.
